Despite whether you're tired, your sweet dog and her big, puppy-dog eyes are waiting for you to crawl out of your couch cocoon and get some exercise.

Playing a game like tug or fetch may not seem to you like a mentally-stimulating, enriching activity. To your dog, though, games open a world of experiences that add color and depth to their physical and mental exercise.

Get in shape, strengthen your bond, and have fun! While running seems to be a straightforward endeavor for you, for your dog it’s a hugely rewarding enrichment activity.

Consider these key six factors when looking to providing a dog enrichment program for your best furry friend.
